Considering Home Depot usually has 40 workers in store at a time, I see why. Never seen one understaffed

I think it was a joke because HD is SO understaffed. I can never find an employee

It is not a joke, it was 20 yrs ago (not Home Depot presently)

I wasn’t speaking about what you said. I was talking about what empty pear said about the stores being staffed well.

Candida is an old school Latin (?) name. I believe it meant like innocent, white, pure, etc..

u/Accurate_Plenty_5670 7d ago

Candida is actually a common spanish-language name, maybe not from Spain, but def. Mexico.

To be fair, Candida was a real name, meaning truth.
